Gee. How amazing the KHL gets ESPN telecasts in a couple of weeks and Bettman and his minions can’tdo anything for years.

Maybe has something to do with NBC which is now owned by Comcast which in turn is owned by Ed Snyder who is the NHL team owner of the Flyers. Something smells rotten about that and many other conflicts of intrest in the NHL upper management ranks.

That is fuching classic and a huge “screw you” to the worst-run professional league in sports, maybe in sports history—-including Donald’s USFL. Thanks Gary. Ass.

As much as I dislike some of the NHL’s decision making, I wouldn’t go so far as to say KHL on ESPN3 is the equivalent of the OLN/Vs/NBCSports deals either. ESPN was looking towards the NFL and hockey was never going to be of any relevance to them. If the NHL played in the summer when only basebeall was playing their million games, ESPN might be interested.
